The Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals was originally formed in 1872 to protect the horses who pulled Portland’s streetcars. The Society now provides around the clock on-site staffing, has access to veterinary services twenty-four hours a day, and maintains nearly one hundred equines on its farm facilities in South Windham. Animals, who have been seized by Maine’s law enforcement officials and placed by court order with the Society, provided the animals are not suffering, are kept for the entirety of their lives or placed in forever homes.
